You're right.  The error was mine.

I overlooked that the build machine had a newer libedit library than
the machine on which I tried to use psql.  The newer libedit defines
append_history, and so the build process used it, but the older libedit
doesn't define it.

Sorry for the noise.
Thanks, Rainer
